Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to limit abdominal distension and alleviate uncomfortable side effects related to it—in patients treated in hydrocolonic preparation units. Systems may comprise a water delivery unit comprising a controllable water supply, configured to introduce water controllably into the patient's large intestine, a drainage configured to drain, by gravity, the introduced water with contents of the patient's large intestine and a controller. The drainage comprises a drainage pipe and sensor(s) such as camera(s) configured to continuously measure the amount of drained water drained by the drainage pipe. The controller is configured to control the water introduction with respect to the measured amount of drained water, keeping an amount of water retained in the patient below a specified water retention threshold to reduce uncomfortable side effects of abdominal distension.
